It was good but my last delivery took 3 hours and I had to call them myself to check where the food is. Otherwise no food.

They charged me 32$ for one takeout chicken sandwich. I asked why, they said the chicken skewer costs 22$ each + the salad the put in the sandwich. Insane

I mean it is Persian. But that doesn’t mean everyone has to like it. Arabic-Gulf restaurants do it better.

If you want perfectly grilled meats - this is it! It feel like you are welcomed into a Persian family’s home — if that family happened to make unreal grilled meats and perfect rice every single time. The food is comforting, generous, and packed with flavour, and the atmosphere makes you want to slow down and truly enjoy your meal. You can tell this place was built with heart. The decor is beautiful, everything is spotless, and the staff are incredibly warm and welcoming. The paintings and mosaics throughout the restaurant create such a unique ambiance — you can really see the time, care, and effort that went into making the space feel special.

Some of the best food I’ve had in MTL. The staff was so kind and pleasant, the food was off the charts delicious. Anita was our waitress and she was fantastic with her recommendations of food to choose, for sure deserves a big pay raise for how great she is at her job. I think we waited less than 15 mins for our entire meal! I can’t wait to come back and show my friends how nice this place is. Very clean, and professionally run restaurant. Great taste in decorations too.

Unfortunately, they provide very poor quality food and the cook is rude, and most interestingly, the waiter determines the amount of their tip before serving you the food.

The food quality was excellent — authentic Iranian flavors, with delicious rice, saffron, and kebabs. The atmosphere was pleasant with soft, enjoyable music, and the staff were friendly, smiling, and very efficient.

Really disappointed with my experience here. The chicken for the zereshk polo was actually good, but the rice was some of the worst I’ve had — it smelled off and wasn’t fluffy at all, making it hard to eat. The koobideh was also disappointing; it wasn’t juicy and tasted more like a burger patty than traditional koobideh. The one bright spot was the gentleman serving us, who was very nice and welcoming throughout the visit. Unfortunately, the food quality just didn’t meet expectations.

The food was very nice. However, I had to wait for it a very long time, while the friends I was with all got their food already. They waited for me to get my food, but by the time I got my dish (after repeatedly asking the staff, who weren't very responsive or taking immediate action, in stead I needed to confirm my order twice), all their dishes had basically gone cold. No apologies, nothing even mentioned. We were with six and got a table cornered against a pillar, so that I couldn't see the person on the other side of that pillar. Very strange configuration for a restaurant. Next time I would order the food to be delivered.

Ordered the gheymeh on ubereats. It had barely any beef at all and was mostly just peas, which were also very hard and didn’t seem fully cooked.

We visited Montreal from Toronto a few weeks ago and tried Behesht, which was one of the best experiences we had in the city. The food was delicious, the portions were generous, and the place itself was so nice and warm that it made me feel like home. The staff were incredibly kind, they even brought us tea without us asking. The girl with long black hair was especially friendly and welcoming. Overall, it was such a great experience!

Everything was so good and fresh! I really loved that they’re vegetarian-friendly. And let me tell you the ashen reshteh was out of this world (the best I’ve had so far). The vegetarian fesenjoon was absolutely delicious too! The service was on point 👌🏽 Honestly, everything was perfect. Thank you to the whole team! 10/10

It used to be good but the koobedeh meat smells like lamb's wool is served uncooked to pretend to be juicy. Moreover, the Mirza Ghasemi also does not use roasted eggplant, but canned eggplant.
